among the throng were SO near the OLner
shore that they could almost hear the sounds
not meant for mortal ears, though wall was
closing round them which shuts out earthly
sounds. The middle aged were there-they
who are still in the noon of battle, and the

all were there.
Somebody has said that the people who
think deeply and feel strongly are never
pretty. 1t is more than half truth. There
is no prettiness in serious thought, though
much great beauty. The people who came to
Plymouth church from afar and entered it
reverenty were pilgrims who have journeyed
there over the steep and rugged paths of life.
They were not pretty, surely, though some OF
them had the kind of faces given to the saints
in our dreams. They were the people who
have suffered, and they had "A fancy that
their sick souls could be healed by the balm
of the great preachers words. Curiosity had
less to do with filling Plymouth church than
faith All the listeners had been familiar
with Mr. Beecher's thoughts for years; but
they longed to get within the sound of his
voice. and when they did they went away
comforted One old woman, with white hair
and kind brown eyes, as she was leaving the
church wiping the tears from her withered
cheeks, said: "This is the greatest privilege
of my life | never expect to be out of Ohio
again while / live. hut I've heard Beecher
and will ask for nothing more"
How he swayed his people, His magnetism
bore them up to the level of his thought ere
their own minds could frame II protest As
fast as they could receive the truth he gave it
to them. If he knew still higher truths than
he uttered, his reserve was not the result of
cowardice. He knew the unwsdom of Civ
ing out what could not be comprehended,
hence would be bitterly resented.
Henry Ward Beecher will fill his far famed
pulpit no more in bodily form; but he can
know no death He himself said in his fu-
neral Grafton on Lincoln: SIS any man that
was ever fit to live dead." Dead only in the
body, this man shall never die.

The final outcome of the matter was com
promise and so the clergyman no doubt felt
that the plan for protection to which he had
lent himself was a success.
The valiant English policemen, who turn
tenants out of doors and protect the families
of the landlords from the peasanrry of the
ever green isle, are not insenslbe to the
charms of Eri's daughters, but occupy a
great deal of the time they are off duty after
the fashion indicated in the accompanying
sketch taken from The London Graphic.

Illustrated News contains an account
of an ingenious device which was adopted
to gain time at ROsSmar" ~her where the sub
sheriff, with several baliifS, with a lorce Of a
hundred armed consta bulaly, went to evict a
farmer. A large gathering of people, assem-
hled by the blowing of horns and ringing of
the chapel bell, was present The windows of
the house were barricaded and the front door
was removed but against the opening were
placed large iron gates supported by pile of
stones. Against the gates, but commanding
view of what was taking place outside,
stood the Rev. Father Little, the parish
priest, in chains. These were tied round
his body and connected with the
gates, so that an entrance could not be
effected without molestation of his person.
He declared that they should trampe on his
body before so inhuman an act was carried
out At length the bailiffs were set to work,
but they experienced much difficulty in re-
moving the stones and other distractions.

to be the Addie NJ Chadwick, as the schoon.
er Cora Eta of this port, missing since the
terrible gale of the I'd inst. The schooner
survived the gale and was evidently working
her way back onto the shoals when she struck
on the reefs snd sunk. She lies in eight
fsthoms of water, heading s. S. E. The low
est sails are set and the foresail and mainsail
trimmed by the wind, and the spanker peak
dropped. She lies three miles east by south
from Sankaty Head. Nantucket men think
that when the schooner struck the men took
to the boats and in trying to cross Bass rips
to the heading for the lights, were swamped
There is still hope, however, that they were
carried out to sea and picked up by an out
ward bound vessel or steamer. Capt Fales,
Nate French and Waldo Harrington of the
crew have families here.
